Recommendations

Look at the examples provided to see how it works.
It is very important to provide valid HTML 4.01 to the converter, but only what is in the <body>. Use the <page> tag.
for borders: it is advised that they are like solid 1mm #000000
for padding, they are applicable only on tags table, th, td, div, li
A default font can be specified, if the requested font does not exist or if no font is specified:

$html2pdf->setDefaultFont('Arial');

The possibility to protect your PDF is present, CF Example 7.
Some tests can be enabled (true) or disabled (false):
setTestIsImage method: test that images must exist
setTestTdInOnePage method: test that the contents of TDs fit on one page
A DEBUG mode to know the resources used is present. It is activated by adding the following command just after the contructor (see Example 0): $htmlpdf->setModeDebug();
Some specific tags have been introduced:
- <page></page> (CF Exemple 7 & wiki)
